Thanks to the people of Emmitsburg, with the help of the Boy Scouts Troop 776 and five FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) classes, the Emmitsburg Food Bank shelves are full, again!
The Boy Scouts collected 1,388 items and FEMA brought almost 500 items of food to the food bank on Saturday, November 11, 2017.
FEMA also brought new car seats, diapers, formula, and other things to the Pregnancy Center. They had collected $1,500, then also went out and bought these things for these two charities. Thank you.
The following week, Mount St. Mary’s University students collected food. Mother Seton students and many churches also brought food.
Much gratitude and thanks go out to all the caring people of Emmitsburg. It is because of generous and caring people like you that the Emmitsburg Food Bank continues to help your friends in the area.

Representing the Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show, Denise Valentine (right) presents a check for $650 to Phyllis Kelly and Mary Price of the Emmitsburg Food Bank. The money represents half of the proceeds from the sale of this year’s Grand Champion Junior and Youth Department Champion Cakes at the Thurmont & Emmitsburg Community Show. A matching donation was also presented to the Thurmont Food Bank last month.
